Speakers for this event

• Allysse Riordan

  Allysse Riordan

  Allysse is an image maker, a sound artist, a writer, and a microaventurer – not necessarily in that order. She explores the UK (mostly) on foot or on two wheels at a speed always slower than guidebooks and GPS advertise. In 2016, she embarked on a cycle tour through Spain and (mostly) Portugal, during which time she recorded a myriad of sounds and captured far too many photos. In general, Allysse enjoys pottering about, sleeping in random fields, and capturing her journeys with a mixture of cameras, notebooks, and microphones.
